Arkansas will fare pretty badly against Connecticut. Major height advantage to Conn. Arkansas won't get many offensive rebounds and Aubrey will have a field day on the offensive boards. The Arkansas offense is mainly to pass it around to free up one of (Dungee, Daniels, Slocum) who will drive like a runaway train to the basket - 25 free throws versus Georgia. They actually hunt blocking fouls, if they can't get to the rim.

Connecticut guards must trust ONO and our other bigs to defend the rim. These are small guards and so there is no need to slap at the ball, leave your feet or reach in - simply wait for them to put up the shot.

Score: 86 - 51 to Connecticut.

Hate playing teams coming off an emotional loss.

Arkansas has scored 70+ every game this season so I think they'll score a lot, but UCONN will score a lot more. Predicting big stat lines for ONO and Edwards. Huskies 95-76.

Hope you're right. Watched Arkansas beat Baylor and was impressed with the Razorbacks' tenacity. It's true that Arkansas is shortish but also true that small teams (and players) have wreaked havoc on our Huskies.
Assuming that Paige will be back and ready to go. Everything is easier if Buckets is on the beat.

That's correct. Carnac qualified his 4PM time with the CT (not Ct) indication. We (including Ct) are ET.

Arkansas is a fun team to watch, at least for me. They play with a nice pace and they really believe in the whole term of "Pace & Space" offense. They putting points on the board. Program that is on the rise.
